  188. Saving Money Is A Habit You Can Learn

  Aug 16, 202610 min

  Send us Fan Mail Saving money is not a personality trait, it is a skill you can build, and we get honest about why so many of us struggle to start. We are Bronwin Wayner and Craig Finch from Growth Financial Planning, and we work through a practical, human look at saving that goes beyond spreadsheets. If you have ever told yourself “I’ll save when I’m older” or “I just can’t save”, this conversation is for you. We unpack the three types of savers and how people can shift between them as life changes. From lifestyle spending to the short-lived thrill of a flashy purchase, we talk about what actually drives decisions, and why the psychology of money matters as much as the maths. We also explore a key wealth-building idea: a higher saving rate can outweigh a higher investment return, which is a relief if you are tired of feeling behind or overwhelmed by market noise. We then move into what support looks like in the real world: using the right long-term tools, understanding a tax-free savings account properly, and having a financial plan that covers both goals and the “what ifs” like health shocks or income disruption. If you want to build better money habits, improve your budgeting, and grow your retirement savings in South Africa with less stress, press play and start where you are. Subscribe, share with someone who needs the nudge, and leave a review with the money habit you are working on right now.

  187. The Ferrari, The Honda And The Truth

  Aug 9, 202610 min

  Send us Fan Mail The most dangerous money mistake is also the easiest to make: confusing what looks wealthy with what actually is. We sit down with Chapter 9 of Morgan Housel’s The Psychology of Money and get honest about the gap between being rich today and being wealthy for life. From the quiet power of savings and investment portfolios to the temptation of flashy spending, we talk about why the best financial decisions often happen out of sight. We dig into the idea of “enough” and why defining it can change everything. A Ferrari might impress people for a moment, but a repayment you can’t afford can trap you for years. We link wealth to freedom, the kind that comes from living below your income, saving consistently, and investing for the future version of you. We also look at real-life cues that mislead us, because we judge what we can see, even when the truth sits in someone’s bank account, not their driveway. We close with a practical planning mindset: your goals are meant to evolve as you move through different seasons of life. That means checking in often, adjusting as marriage, kids, and new responsibilities arrive, and keeping your money aligned with your values instead of your image. If you want a grounded, South Africa-friendly conversation about personal finance, financial planning, wealth building, and financial freedom, this one is for you. Subscribe, share it with a mate, and leave a review so more people can learn to build wealth they don’t need to prove.

  184. Why Staying Invested Beats Perfect Timing

  Jul 19, 20268 min

  Send us Fan Mail What do you do when your investment goes down? Do you panic, make changes and move your money somewhere that feels safer? Or do you trust the plan and stay the course? In Episode 184 of Know Your Money, Bronwyn and Craig revisit one of their favourite books, The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel, and unpack the chapter “Tails, You Win.” The idea is simple but powerful: you do not need every investment period, business decision or opportunity to be successful. The wins and losses are part of the same journey. What matters is being able to stay in the game long enough for the wins to make a meaningful difference. Bronwyn and Craig discuss why investors often want to make changes when markets fall, even after enjoying strong returns in previous years. They compare three investors who approached difficult market periods differently and show how fear, hesitation and trying to predict the perfect time to invest can significantly affect long-term outcomes. They also explore why every investment needs a clear purpose and timeline. Money you may need soon should not be invested in the same way as money you are growing for the long term. When you understand what you are keeping, what you are saving and what you are growing, it becomes easier to ride the waves without reacting emotionally to every market movement. This episode is a reminder that investing successfully is often less about doing something clever and more about continuing to do the right thing when everyone around you is panicking. Sometimes the best action is patience. And sometimes, when your long-term money is invested correctly, the best thing you can do is stop looking.

  The Accident That Changed the Rest of His Life | Know Your Money | Episode 183

  Jul 12, 202617 min

  Send us Fan Mail He survives a horrific highway collision, climbs out from under a truck, and walks away with nothing but stitches and a scar. That’s where Justin’s story starts, and it’s why this conversation stays with you long after you stop listening. We talk with Justin about the night drive from Johannesburg to Howick that turns catastrophic on the N3, and the heavy reality that another family is killed moments later. From there, the story shifts to the uncomfortable question many survivors carry: why didn’t it happen to me? Justin shares how that search for meaning eventually reshapes his career as a biokineticist, moving from chasing high-profile sport to working with people living with brain injuries, stroke, and spinal cord injury in a rehabilitation setting. It’s an honest look at purpose, dignity, and how quickly life can change. Then we follow the thread into adaptive sport and community impact. Justin tells us about Gabriel, a young man in a wheelchair who demands a goal big enough to live for, and the handcycle challenges that follow. When batteries fail and plans fall apart, a simple tow rope, teamwork, and stubborn grit get people to the finish line. The full-circle moment comes with Wiseman’s 947 ride, where Gabriel tows him for 53km, turning inspiration into action and proving how goals can rebuild identity after trauma. If you care about purpose-driven work, disability rehabilitation, resilience, and the real-life side of planning for the unexpected, you’ll get a lot from this one.

  The Secret to Achieving Impossible Goals - Know Your Money | Episode 182

  Jul 5, 202610 min

  Send us Fan Mail A rollover on a misty road. Two fatalities. One survivor left with severe brain damage and the brutal reality of starting life again from scratch. We sit down with Justin to tell the story of Ari, a young man who has to relearn how to talk, eat, sit, and walk and why the money side of recovery can be the difference between “getting by” and getting the best possible care. What makes this story hit hard is how practical it is. We talk about the cost of long-term rehabilitation, the value of having your financial life in order, and how good decisions made years earlier can fund better hospitals, consistent therapy, and even home care. If you have ever wondered what financial planning is really for, this is it: building options when your income, health, and independence are suddenly on the line. We also touch on the quieter pieces people avoid, like support networks, planning ahead, and why a bad attitude can become its own disability. Then the twist: they set a goal that sounds impossible, the New York Marathon. Training starts with a short driveway and ends with 42 kilometres of grit, including a breaking point on the Queensborough Bridge, a pizza stop, a wheelchair, and a stubborn decision not to quit. Along the way we pull out real takeaways on goal setting, resilience, and breaking overwhelming challenges into small “water points” you can actually reach.
